What Happened
The part in question is a critical component of your suspension system, specifically the bolts that hold the bottom strut fork in place. These bolts are like the 'shoulder' of the suspension, keeping everything stable and secure.
Risk if Unfixed
If these bolts lose their grip, the suspension could fail, causing your vehicle to drop suddenly. This could make it hard to control your car, and you might panic, which could lead to a crash.
Free Fix
Rock Krawler will contact you with instructions on how to get your suspension system fixed for free. You'll get a new suspension system with proper-grade bolts installed, and this repair is on the house.
